'Manuka Honey and Oil are scientifically shown to kill and protect against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly called MRSA. A number of anecdotal incidents attest to that fact. At this point, their ability appears to be through an entirely different mechanism than antibiotic drugs, so they may not result in drug-resistant diseases—the scourage of modern medicine, which is demonstrating the inherent flaw in the medical paradigm. At a time when it’s becoming apparent that all antiobiotic drugs result in drug-resistant diseases, it’s becoming ever more important to know what natural methods of healing exist, along with how to develop genuinely good health to prevent disease.'

You’ve dodged cheese balls, praline candies, iced cookies, and bowls of peppermint ice cream.
The numbers on the scale are down. Your pants are loose. Your skin is clearer. The holiday blahhhs and grumpiness are moods of the past. And most likely the cravings for fake foods are behind you, and you are thoroughly enjoying the pleasure and tastes of high-nutrient foods now.
Congratulations! You are on your way to becoming what Dr. Fuhrman calls a “Black Belt Nutritarian”!
However, now is not the time to kick back in your easy chair, rest on your laurels and slack off.'

'My husband and I think we’ve found a way to pay off our mortgage early, without taking on an extra job or working nights. We’ve decided to construct a rental unit — a “mother-in-law suite” — within our home. If it pans out as we hope, the rental income will let us pay off our loan 10 years early. And who knows: It could give us a chance to live closer to family as we, or they, get on in years.'
